Regional Planning Commission Invites Participation in VISION 2050 Update

The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission invites the Region to a conversation about land use and transportation for an update to VISION 2050.

VISION 2050, originally adopted in 2016, makes recommendations to local and State government to shape and guide land use development and transportation improvements in the seven-county Region, comprised of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties, to the year 2050.

Every four years, the Commission conducts an interim review and update of VISION 2050 to keep the plan current and address federal requirements. The last update occurred in 2020. For the 2024 Review and Update, Commission staff is proposing updates to the plan recommendations, sharing information related to funding for the recommended transportation system, and conveying how the plan benefits and impacts low-income populations, people of color, and people with disabilities. In addition, the draft plan update includes information on federal performance targets set for the Region’s transportation system.

Ways to participate in the plan update include:

• Visit the plan website at vision2050sewis.org
• Attend a virtual public meeting on Monday, February 26, 5-6pm or Wednesday, February 28, 1-2pm
• Provide a written comment through the contact information below

The public comment period will be open through March 14, 2024. Registration for the virtual meetings is at vision2050sewis.org/2024-update.
